+// Lazy loader for the optional @remnic/coding-graph package.
+//
+// Remnic's core is installed à-la-carte: users who only need memory
+// features should not have to install codebase-graph tooling, so
+// @remnic/coding-graph is an optional peer dependency, not a bundled
+// dependency. Any code path that actually needs the graph engine calls
+// loadCodingGraphEngineFactory() or one of the try* helpers; the loader
+// either returns the engine factory or throws a user-facing install hint.
+//
+// Justification for the dynamic import:
+//   CLAUDE.md rule 57 / AGENTS.md rule 44 require à-la-carte optional
+//   workspace packages to be loaded via a *computed-specifier* dynamic
+//   import. Static `import "@remnic/coding-graph"` would either fail the
+//   base install when the optional package is absent or — worse — force
+//   the bundler to bundle it into @remnic/core's dist. Concat'ing the
+//   specifier from string literals keeps the dynamic import a runtime
+//   call. The same pattern is canonical in
+//   packages/remnic-cli/src/optional-bench.ts and
+//   packages/remnic-cli/src/optional-module-loader.ts; we mirror it here
+//   because core, not the CLI, owns the engine entry point.
+//
+// Type-source direction:
+//   The CodingGraphEngine interface and supporting IR types live in
+//   packages/remnic-core/src/coding/coding-graph-types.ts (a local
+//   types-only module). They are owned by core; @remnic/coding-graph
+//   imports them and implements against them. This breaks the type
+//   cycle that would otherwise require core to resolve
+//   @remnic/coding-graph at compile time. Core's tsup DTS phase emits
+//   declarations against the package's compiled output — this would
+//   fail in CI's fresh base install where the optional peer is not
+//   symlinked. With the types owned locally, the loader types its
+//   dynamic-import result through the local shape (validated at runtime
+//   via a structural check, not via TS) so the base install compiles.
+//
+// Failure-mode policy:
+//   - Missing optional package → install hint (loadCodingGraphEngineFactory
+//     throws the canonical user-facing message).
+//   - Present-but-mismatched install (the optional package resolves to a
+//     module that does not satisfy the structural contract) →
+//     `module_load_failed` Error on the loadFactory path; probe paths
+//     return null with no throw (graceful degradation). User sees a
+//     real diagnostic telling them the install is broken — NOT the
+//     "npm install @remnic/coding-graph" install hint, which would
+//     mislead users into re-installing a package that is already there.
+//   - Present-but-broken install (transitive dep missing, loader
+//     fault, etc.) → underlying import error is rethrown on the
+//     loadFactory path; probe paths swallow and return null.
+//   - Three separate cache slots, kept strictly disjoint:
+//     (a) `cachedLoadResult` — successful-module cache, read by both
+//         loadFactory and tryLoad. Never populated on missing or
+//         broken installs (preserves the "users see the real
+//         diagnostic" invariant).
+//     (b) `inFlightProbe` — in-flight promise slot shared by concurrent
+//         probe callers; cleared once settled.
+//     (c) (No "absent result" cache.) loadFactory ALWAYS attempts a
+//         fresh import on a fresh call — never serves a stale
+//         decision from a previous attempt.
